From fb65b9619b756793d824df7501c895a2c2871f40 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "David S. Miller" Date: Sun, 17 Apr 2005 18:03:11 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] sparc: Fix PTRACE_CONT bogosity SunOS aparently had this weird PTRACE_CONT semantic which we copied. If the addr argument is something other than 1, it sets the process program counter to whatever that value is. This is different from every other Linux architecture, which don't do anything with the addr and data args. This difference in particular breaks the Linux native GDB support for fork and vfork tracing on sparc and sparc64. There is no interest in running SunOS binaries using this weird PTRACE_CONT behavior, so just delete it so we behave like other platforms do. Signed-off-by: David S.
